The Seamless Login feature is available for PSUs utilizing ClassLink as their local portal / identity provider. With Seamless Login, PSUs can publish selected NCEdCloud integrated applications such as PowerSchool, Schoolnet, Canvas, and Amplify, in their local ClassLink portals. Behind the scenes, ClassLink will communicate with NCEdCloud to authenticate users and pass them to the requested application. This allows end-users to essentially skip NCEdCloud completely for a “seamless login” to Home Base applications from Classlink. PSUs may alternatively choose to simply place an NCEdCloud icon in their local ClassLink portal, to ensure users can always access all available applications in the NCEdCloud IAM Service for their PSU. Please note: Only users with the NCEdCloud LEA Administrator role will have access to submit this opt-out form.
